I have tried searching in the various related threads, but cannot find a part number for the front lower control arm Front bushing (2005 LGT).

I would like to replace the front bushings with uprated OEM parts, and I believe that the 2008 WRX, WRX-STi and Spec B might use the same part?

I will be replacing the Rear bushings with Group N PN ST20204ZR010.

For my use, I don't feel I need Group N replacement for the front bushing.

Could someone help me find this Front bushing PN?

My searching on OpposedForces seemed to indicate PN 20204AG030 and I ordered a pair, but it was hard to determine definite model years.

I found the following info which gives the relative numbers:

STI Group N front arm rear bushings - ST20204ZR010

STI Group N front arm front bushings - ST20204ZR000

08-10 Impreza/Spec.B front arm rear bushings - 20204AG011

08-10 Impreza/Spec.B front arm front bushings - 20204AG030

Thanks for answering my slightly off topic question.

I like that the OEM fluid starts out clear and darkens as it gets

contaminated, so I will probably pick some up from the dealer.

I very much appreciate this information and especially having the

O-Ring part number handy.

Could I break into this discussion briefly so I don't have to start a new thread?

What are you all using for power steering fluid? OEM Subaru?

I see in the FSM that Dextron III (ATF?) is equivalent. Does anyone use this, and if so, is it a clear fluid like the OEM?

One thing that I found to be helpful when I removed my pan to put in the KillerBee pickup was a 10mm swivel socket (1/4" drive). Much more compact than a 10mm socket with swivel extension. Also, I unbolted the oil pickup from the block before completely dropping the pan out.

I used Permatex UltraGrey sealant, and at the reccomendation of Permatex tech, on re-installation with sealant in place I finger tightened all bolts and let sealant set up for about an hour. Then I torqued bolts in staggered pattern.
